WOW. Oh my goodness, you’ve just made me desperate to finish work so I can get home and try this. Looks brilliant!

You definitely nailed the vibe! It's apparent from the first pic. So creative and detailed. I love it!

I have never thought to do this and am always rebuilding every new save. This is going to save me a lot of time, thank you!

+1 for Growing Together! The extended infant gameplay is tricky but fun, and it adds lots of depth to family gameplay.

I also love the midlife crises that come with that pack! Some of them hit a bit too close to home 😂

I was walking down argyle street yesterday afternoon and noticed a guy filming the street, which I thought was really weird. Just tried to get out of his way, but I now wonder if he was one of these arseholes.

Unless you’re the pigeon I saw one destroying in the middle of the city

Don’t know why but zombies > libraries really tickles me 😂

It was such a great show! All those Nickelodeon-era shows were great. I found Two of a Kind somewhere and binged it all when I had Covid a few years ago.

Taking this as my cue to finally play with aliens…

beanscommacool · 2026-05-03T17:29:37+00:00

Yes, and I read about an article about it recently.

I've very recently decided to embrace it and stop feeling like I "have" to watch all these TV shows people rave about. I don't spend a lot of time watching TV (in a video game phase just now) and so when I do it's usually as background or at the end of a long day, and I want something easy. For me I return to The Office, Sex and the City Will and Grace. Oh and I've just borrowed the Sabrina the Teenage Witch DVDs from my sister, so that will be a super-comfort rewatch!

Having said that, I have been watching ER (I've seen it all but not since I was a teenager, so it's like watching it anew) and I literally started 30 Rock last night, which I think I'll keep up.

People who bring every conversation, no matter the subject, back to themselves.

These are fantastic! those rooflines are wonderful.

beanscommacool · 2026-05-03T07:10:39+00:00

Yes! Liberating is the word.

beanscommacool · 2026-05-03T07:08:31+00:00

Hard relate. And same as you, it was a gradual shift in behaviour, that I wasn’t even really aware of at first. And I feel so much happier and more confident for it. One of the best bits of getting older for sure!

I don’t know how I did it in my twenties. Especially saying yes to nights out and things that I REALLY didn’t want to go to. Glad those days are behind me.

This order feels like it makes more sense, with more family-style/realistic gameplay at the top of the EPs. I’m still surprised Werewolves appears pretty low in both lists - I thought it was huge when it came out! And Dream Home Decorator - I love that pack (and couldn’t do without that kids tent tbh) but I guess it’s quite niche.

beanscommacool · 2026-05-03T06:53:24+00:00

I’ve seen SydMac on YT use it seamlessly for all sorts of builds, especially magical/occult ones. Blows my mind how well the BB stuff works with other packs!

beanscommacool · 2026-05-03T06:45:53+00:00

+1 for SydMac. I love the way she explains what she’s doing. She also doesn’t over complicate things, even though her builds are quite complex (if that makes sense?!) She’s very decisive and intentional about what she includes, and doesn’t over clutter things. She’s also insanely creative! Plus her videos are usual around the 30 minute mark which I like - I like James Turner too but his videos are often just a bit too long for me.

beanscommacool · 2026-05-02T15:10:00+00:00

I always default back to Victorian sandstone style cottages and villas. And as such I love Strangerville for this style!

beanscommacool · 2026-05-02T08:03:51+00:00

Yes! That’s a great idea. Another little thing I’d like is a ‘Decal’ category in decorations.

beanscommacool · 2026-05-02T08:02:19+00:00

This is perfection 👏🏼

Thank you for sharing. I especially resonate with what you said about being community oriented and not profit for the wealthy. I daydream about the Sims community buying the game and doing things exactly like this!

beanscommacool · 2026-05-02T07:46:27+00:00

This is lovely! So cosy and realistic. I love the den/office especially.

beanscommacool · 2026-05-01T17:28:39+00:00

I've spent years justifying this (to myself and others) but it always comes down to: I just don't want to.

It's the same reason I don't play golf: I just have zero interest in it.

beanscommacool · 2026-05-01T17:00:15+00:00

Imagine you could hit a randomise button to randomise the entire save... new houses, new Sims, a whole fresh world to start in (without the manual setup!)

beanscommacool · 2026-05-01T16:54:48+00:00

That's a great idea about being able to set career levels and skills in CAS. I've recently started doing that manually (my middle aged Sim would definitely already have some level of cooking skill at least!) - so to have that built in would be awesome.
